Here are some pictures from our Halloween. Massey was Swiper and Rebeca was Dora. Pretty good costumes if you ask me.

Rebeca was Dora on Friday night and a lion on Saturday. The lion suit worked better for Saturday because it was cold and raining.
This is Massey helping us deliver the candy bags we gave all of our tennants for Halloween.
Rebeca helped too.

I don't know why Massey was being so unhappy.

This is the costume that Massey almost wore on Saturday night. Instead he was Swiper again.

Here we are trying to have Family Home Evening. I love it when Rebeca says "Aaaaaaaamn" (amen) at the end of the lesson.

Here's Massey and Rebeca dancing to Nigel's video

A new life adventure

Well, I am no longer an unpaid working stay-home mom, I am literally supporting our family now, by working from home. Heavenly Father has provided a way for us to find the perfect job for us at this time. We have become apartment managers for a company called Bluestone & Hockley, since September 13th, 2010. We manage 55 units and our complex is called Greenwood Village. Here's the website if you're curious to see what they look like. Greenwood Village Apartments

I am finally starting to understand the many responsibilities of this job and our kids are adjusting to this big change. Jordan has been very supportive during these last 4 weeks and even though it's been a bit stressful at times we've managed just fine and are starting to enjoy it.

My heart is full of gratitude and love for our Heavenly Father as I think of the way He has been guiding us all this time. It was exactly a year ago after having moved to Oregon, so that Jordan could start chiropractic school, that our life started feeling settled and that our savings literally ran out. And as I have been contemplating all these things, I can't help thinking of the scripture that says"... where much is given much is required." A couple months ago I got called to be the 1st counselor in the YW presidency and Jordan has been in the YM presidency since last November and sometimes I wonder how we're doing it. But we are doing it and Heavenly Father helps us everyday and today is one of those days where I am simply grateful for his gracious help and love for us, the crazy Andersons. I do complain, and sometimes it feels like that's all I do, but then sometimes great things happens and that's all I can think of. I hope to remember this day and finish these next two years and couple months with a firmer testimony of the gospel and greater understanding of the plan of salvation.

Just pictures for now

Trying out the shirt that aunt Jamie brought him from Hawaii

Ever since I took on my new job my children have

been doing all the cooking in our home...

Aunt Camille, it's not poop...

It's make-up and I believe it was 7:30am.

Rebeca starts walking

Massey and Rebeca were just playing around last night when all of the sudden Ruth got this on video. This is the first time that Rebeca has really taken steps on her own, so I would say that these are her first steps.

Fotos divertidas para la family/Fun pics for the familia!

Massey tomo esta foto, ultimamente ha estado tomando fotos de sus juguetes, de la pared, las sillas, de todo lo que se le ocurre.

Massey actually took this picture, he's been taking pictures of his toys, of the wall, kitchen chairs, or anything he can think of.

En un dia muy calurosoy humedo jugando con el agua.

Playing with water on a very hot and humid day.

This is at OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science. It was Free Science Day week and we went with our friends Josh, Whitney, Beca and Chloe.

They had an awesome play area for the kids and Rebeca loved watching all the fish and playing with all the toys they had for her age.

Beca and Massey playing in the stream with all the cute little boats and animals

I just love this picture!

Massey's accident- very gruesome picture

Warning! the following picture is very gruesome

This would be Massey's thumb after cutting it with a shard of glass he found somewhere on our kitchen floor. It happened right after we had just sat down to have dinner a few weeks ago. We have no idea how it happened but it almost broke our hearts to see his sad little face for what seemed like an eternity, especially on the way to the urgent care. He got 7 stitches and was so brave and good to the nurses even though he was in so much pain for a little while.

It's been a few weeks and his thumb is completely healed and when we ask him about his thumb he says: "Las hormigas ya se fueron" or in english: "the ants are all gone". When he had all those stitches on his thumb, it looked like a bunch of black ants and we told them that they were little ants healing his thumb.
